I am making some changes to a purchased magento theme. Is there any simpler way to backup my work other than by copying the relevant folders inside app skin and media and their directory structures.

Just thought I’d answer this for anyone coming along – as far as i can make out the answer to the question is no, not really – unless I’m doing it the wrong way – ( and I think not ) then the best method of backing up a custom theme is to first compress the entire app, skin and media ( if relevant) directories into one archive file, move this and expand it in an empty directory, then carefully delete all the other theme folders, leaving just the files which you are using and the directory trees which you have created – this preserves any files you have in your custom theme and also the necessary directory structure. If anyone has a better method maybe they’d share it.
